Phosphorus distribution and availability within soil water-stable aggregates as affected by long-term fertilisation

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2020
A field experiment lasting 37 years was conducted to evaluate the applications of different rates of pig manure and mineral fertilisers alone or in combination impacts on total phosphorus (Ptotal) and Olsen phosphorus (POlsen) contents and phosphorus ...

Carbon and nutrient losses during manure storage under traditional and improved practices in smallholder crop-livestock systems - evidence from Kenya [PDF]

, 2009
In the absence of mineral fertiliser, animal manure may be the only nutrient resource available to smallholder farmers in Africa, and manure is often the main input of C to the soil when crop residues are removed from the fields.

Comparison of fertilisation with organic or mineral fertilisers in a three year vegetable crop rotation

Acta agriculturae Slovenica, 2001
In a 3-years field trial, 6 vegetable crops (cabbage, spinach, lettuce, fennel, onion, Chinese cabbage) were grown, supplied with different fertilisers: farm yard manure (FYM), compost of hens' droppings, shredded wood and bark (COMP), and mineral fertiliser with one (NPK-2) or two applications (NPK-1) of nitrogen during the growing season of the crop.

Comparison of the effectiveness of digestate and mineral fertilisers on yields and quality of kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea, L.)

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2011
In a one-year vegetation pot experiment we compared the effect of the digestate from a biogas station and mineral fertilisers on yield and quality parameters of kohlrabi, variety Seguza.

Conversion from mineral fertilisation to MSW compost use: Nitrogen fertiliser value in continuous maize and test on crop rotation

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
The recycling of agricultural wastes, co-products, and by-products is necessary for creating circular economic (closed loop) agro-food chains and more sustainable agro-ecosystems. The substitution of N mineral fertilisers with recycled organic fertiliser promotes a circular economy, makes the agricultural system more environmentally sustainable, and ...

Results of trials with poppy seed (Papaver somniferum) in organic and integrated production technology. [PDF]

, 2010
The influence of organic and integrated management practices on poppy yield, pests and disease incidence was assessed in field trials in 2009. Crop management based on mineral fertilisers application and chemosynthetic pesticides treatment significantly

Plant and Soil Effects of Alternative Sources of Phosphorus over Three Years of Application

Agronomy
Plant growth and food security depend heavily on phosphorus (P). Recovering and recycling P from animal, municipal, and food waste streams can significantly reduce dependency on traditional mineral P. This is particularly pertinent in the EU regions with

Biosolids affect the growth, nitrogen accumulation and nitrogen leaching of barley

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2018
Biosolids are organic fertilisers derived from treated and stabilised sewage sludge that increase soil fertility and supply nitrogen to crops over a long period, but can also increase the risk of nitrogen (N) leaching.

Sustaining soil productivity of cotton-based cropping systems in the savannahs of West and Central Africa : challenges and opportunities [PDF]

, 2010
The production of cotton (#Gossypium# spp.) is one of the major economic activities in many countries of West and Central Africa. Traditionally, cotton production was seen as 'engine for development' in rural Africa, but deregulation and the dismantling ...
